After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Yi Lan had been waiting in the pavilion for a long time.

Murong Xiao came to the pavilion and Yi Lan was about to stand up and salute.

He raised his hand to stop her.

"Not at this moment."

Yi Lan responded, "Yes, Sect Master."

"Have you thought it over? Do you really want to quit the sect?" Murong Xiao asked straight to the point.

Yi Lan was stunned and lowered his head in silence.

"Yes......"

Murong Xiao placed his right hand on the stone table and tapped the table surface lightly with his index finger.

"You know very well what the price of leaving the sect is."

Yi Lan's whole body stiffened and his heart felt cold.

"...Yes, Yilan understands."

Disciples of Xuanying Sect are not allowed to withdraw without reason. If they insist on withdrawing, their martial arts skills will be completely abolished and they will be whipped ninety-nine times.

If you are still alive, you can quit the sect.

However, leaving the sect is the sect leader's Achilles' heel.

Because in order to leave the sect, Senior Sister Mingxi, after losing all her martial arts skills, took seven days to endure the ninety-nine lashes.

This incident has always been an unspeakable pain in the sect leader's heart.

However, since she had already decided to leave the sect, she was ready to bear everything.

"Master, I have thought about it." Yi Lan raised his head and said firmly.

Murong Xiao didn't expect her to be so determined.

"Yilan, is it worth it?"

Is it worth it to abandon everything in the past, even your own life, and gamble on an unknown future?

"worth it."

Whether it is the Ning family or Jiang Ci'an, they are both worth her gamble.

Murong Xiao half closed his eyes.

In this case, he will not persuade her anymore.

He stood up and said indifferently:

"From now on, you are no longer a member of my Xuanying Sect. No one in Xuanying Sect will have anything to do with you, Yi Lan."

"You take care of yourself."

After that, he turned around and left.

Yi Lan felt a pain in her heart when she heard this.

"Master!" She stood up and shouted anxiously, "When will I return to the sect to accept punishment..."

"No need."

Murong Xiao said coldly.

"......Why?"

Yi Lan asked in shock.

Murong Xiao fell silent.

Just when Yi Lan thought he would not answer, Murong Xiao spoke softly:

"I don't want you to be like her."

I don't want you to end up like her and die at a young age.

This is his last act of protection as the sect leader for his favorite disciple.

Murong Xiao finished speaking and left quickly.

"Master..."

Yi Lan looked at his lonely back, feeling mixed emotions.

She didn't expect that she would be able to withdraw from the sect so smoothly.

Thousands of thoughts flooded my mind at once.

"Yilan!"

Jiang Ci'an suddenly appeared in the back garden and quickly came to her side.

"Yuan Xin is leaving, let's go see her off."

Yi Lan put aside his worries and put on a smile.

"Okay."

The two walked towards the front yard together.

When they were almost at the front yard, Yi Lan suddenly spoke:

"Ci'an, I want to go back to the Ning family."

Jiang Ci'an was stunned for a moment, then understood in an instant.

"Okay, I'll be with you no matter what you want in the future."

Yi Lan then laughed from the bottom of her heart.

From now on, she can finally live the life she wants simply and without any burden, and love the person she wants to love...

Outside the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.

Everyone in the Jiang family gathered at the door to see Yuan Xin off together.

Jiang Ruoli glanced at Murong Xiao. She didn't expect that he would be the one to pick up Yuan Xin. This was enough to show how much they valued Yuan Xin.

Jiang Ruoli felt much more relieved.

Mrs. Jiang held Yuan Xin's hand tightly, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Yuan Xin, be good to yourself when you go to the Southern Dynasty. If you are unhappy, come back."

Yuan Xin also held Madam Jiang tightly in return, "Thank you, Madam."

Duke Jiang's eyes were red with tears, "If anyone dares to bully you, just write back and I will lead the troops to get you back!"

Uh, Dad, it’s a bit inappropriate to say this, after all, the saint is still here...

Jiang Ruoli was embarrassed and glanced at Murong Xiao, only to see that he was looking at her.

Jiang Ruoli was stunned and looked away.

Yuan Guang came over and said solemnly: "Sister, you must take care of yourself!"

Yuan Xin nodded.

She looked towards the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Although she stayed in this place for less than a year, it carried the happiest and most joyful memories of her life. She will never forget the great kindness of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in her life.

Yuan Xin took two steps back, knelt in front of the Jiang family, and kowtowed heavily.

"Master, Madam, I will never forget the kindness of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion..."

The Jiang family was reluctant to leave.

Yuan Xin stood up and looked at the servants and maids who used to work with her, and her voice was tinged with tears.

"Everyone, Yuan Xin will say goodbye now."

After this farewell, I don’t know when we will meet again.

Fuguo cried and put Yuanbao into Yuanxin's arms.

"Yuan Xin, you, you take it with you, so you can have something to think about..."

Yuan Xin took the Yuanbao and rubbed it with his head down.

"it is good."

"Yuan Xin, take care!"

"Take care, Yuanxin!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Everyone said goodbye to her.

Yuan Xin nodded with tears in her eyes, then resolutely turned around and got on the carriage.

Murong Xiao nodded slightly to everyone, looked at Jiang Ruoli deeply again, turned around and followed Yuan Xin into the carriage.

The people in the Zhenguo Mansion watched the carriage go farther and farther away...

The carriage came all the way to the posthouse. They were going to pick up Murong Chang. Murong Xiao also had to pack his belongings. Yuan Xin was waiting in the carriage.

As soon as Murong Xiao entered the room, a secret guard followed him in.

"Master, I have found some clues about the matter about Princess Leping that you asked me to investigate."

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Murong Xiao asked while sorting things out.

The secret guard said solemnly: "I have found out that Princess Leping may not be Duke Jiang's biological daughter."

"What did you say?" Murong Xiao frowned, "Is the news accurate?"

The secret guard nodded, "It should be correct. When I was secretly investigating the princess, I didn't find anything wrong. But there was one thing that caught my attention."

"Princess Leping and Jiang Cijin, the third young master of the Jiang family, are twins, but they look completely different."

Although it is not uncommon for twins to look different, it does exist. This does not mean anything, but...

"I was worried that I might have missed some important information, so I sneaked into the Household Registration Department and found the birth records of the two siblings."

"And the records of the Jiang family's third young master show obvious signs of modification."

The noble families in Dacheng would record the birth date of their children on the day they were born and hand it over to the Household Registration Department for safekeeping to avoid making the wrong record later.

"From the handwriting, I can vaguely tell that the original birthday of the Jiang family's third young master should have been the eighth day of the eighth month, but it was later changed to the tenth day of the eighth month..."

"What time did you say?" Murong Xiao suddenly exclaimed.

"August 10th."

The eighth day of August was changed to the tenth day of August, which means it was to accommodate the birth of Jiang Ruoli.

The child who was actually born on the tenth day of August was not the Jiang family’s twins, but just Jiang Ruoli!
